Welcome To AuDHD Summer Camp
A four-month program for late-realized autistic ADHDers who want to build self-compassion and learn to trust themselves
You’ve been trying so hard all your life, and you’re getting tired of it.
Trying to fit in, trying to work harder, trying not to be so sensitive, trying to be there for everyone, trying to solve everyone else’s problems, trying to ignore your own problems, trying to be small and still, trying not to be such a fuckin’ weirdo, trying to keep up with the high expectations you learned in childhood that only got higher as an adult, trying to be a good parent/friend/partner/employee/human, trying not to let it bother you when others don’t give you the same you give to them, trying not to freak out over “small” things all the time, trying, trying, trying… so much trying.
What if instead of all this trying, you let yourself just be for a minute?
What if there was a place you could go, even briefly, to shut out the rest of the loud, judgmental, shallow world, and be with people who expect nothing more of you than to exist and be in community with them?
With people who will celebrate every single part of you, including and especially the messy, mistake-making, angry parts?
With people who will finally see you the way you’ve always hoped people would see you: as the helpful, good-intentioned, sometimes scatterbrained, imperfect but still brilliantly unique human that you are - without you having to convince them of it with every breath you take?
Then you are exactly who I made AuDHD Summer Camp for. I’m so glad you’ve found us.
What Will You Get From AuDHD Summer Camp?
During this 4-month virtual summer camp, you can expect the following experiences & transformations:
🏕️ Camaraderie, connection, and community with a small group of auDHDers
🏕️ Going from confused, overwhelmed, & spinning in circles to clarity, groundedness, and knowing what step to take next
🏕️ Feeling like you can actually trust yourself instead of second guessing every decision
🏕️ Regain a sense of control and empowerment over your life, and feel in charge of yourself again
🏕️ Spot the ways that internalized ableism, shame, capitalism, and white supremacy have wedged their way into your belief systems and relearn more aligned, human-centered ways to be
🏕️ Let go of the neuronormative standards that you’ve been taught and readjust your expectations to actually match your neurodivergent brain
🏕️ Create the space for yourself to be a messy, chaotic, angry, sad human without beating yourself up about it or feeling like you’re “broken”
🏕️ Identify what your needs actually are, how to meet them, and find the language and confidence to articulate them to loved ones, friends, and/or employers
🏕️ Overcome your perfectionistic, people pleasing tendencies, and learn how to practice choosing yourself, and therefore trusting yourself, again
All while in community with other auDHDers who will make you feel seen, heard, and validated right away.

This program was made specifically for you if you:
🏕️ Are a late-realized or late-accepted (25+) autistic ADHDer, whether you already self-identify as auDHD or are still figuring things out (no official diagnosis is required!)
🏕️ Have no clue who you are after recognizing your neurodivergence as an adult and are totally overwhelmed with the idea of relearning everything about yourself
🏕️ Are always helping the people around you but don’t feel as though it's reciprocated in your relationships to the point that you often grow resentful towards people you love
🏕️ Are a teacher, therapist, or other helping/service professional who’s feeling burned out and wants to learn how to have a career like this without getting drained all the time
🏕️ Have a high level of self-awareness but you still feel like you don’t know what to actually do with all of this supposedly useful self-awareness
🏕️ Are always interested to hear a new perspective or way to think about something, even when it contradicts what you currently know to be true
🏕️ Want to start prioritizing yourself and standing up for what you believe in
🏕️ Are ready to commit to the practice of seeking joy even in the darkest of places, and see it as a radical act of resistance
This program is NOT for you if you…
🚫 Aren’t interested in exploring how white supremacy, ableism, and capitalism are interconnected and how they relate to your specific healing journey as well as to the world at large (hint: these things impact and harm EVERYONE in different ways, whether you are aware of it or not)
🚫 Are looking for a step-by-step “here’s exactly what to do and how to do it” type of program. Summer Camp is designed to provide you with a foundation of knowledge and ways of thinking, to help you to find your own answers for what you want to do next
🚫 Have a low tolerance for your long held beliefs being challenged and aren’t ready to engage in the discomfort that comes with having your perspective radically shifted
🚫 Are looking for a program that will “fix” the things that you struggle with and want to have no problems or struggles by the time the four months are up. In truth, I cannot make your problems go away, nor do I want to. But I can help you better understand them and create space for them to exist in your life so that you can actually learn from them rather than try to change or ignore them

About the Coach
When I was a young, undiagnosed autistic ADHDer, there weren't a ton of places where I felt fully free to express myself, where I didn't feel the pressure of all the high expectations put on such a bright, but oddly scatterbrained little girl - until I went to summer camp.
I'd been identifying as a perfectionist ever since I learned what that word meant, and even in elementary school I rarely gave myself the opportunity to not do absolutely everything that I'd been taught was expected of me, and then some.
Then one year, when I was 11, we got a catalogue in the mail filled with a bunch of summer camp programs. I saw the picture of all the smiling girls on the cover, surrounded by nature (and, more importantly, friends) having what I could only assume was the absolute time of their freaking lives.
Immediately, my mind started racing with all the possibilities of what it could mean for me to be able to go somewhere to have the chance to be whoever my little self wanted to be for a week or two, before returning home to my life of overachieving and high standards.
I proceeded to daydream for months about the person I might be when I wasn't being bogged down by real life expectations, when I didn't have to worry about small-town judgement and the spreading of rumors about "that weird girl Jes" that would lead to me losing the handful of friends I'd managed to make in school. When I could just be that weird girl and it would be fine because no one knew me there, it was a fresh start, a perfectly clean slate.
And man, did I have an amazing time being the absolute weirdest I could possibly be for those two weeks at a time, roaming around in the woods and creating absurd inside jokes with the friends I made there.
Even though camp was only for a few weeks over a handful of summers, having just that small space to practice what it meant to fully "be myself" without all of the everything else that's constantly bogging all of us down, was healing for me in ways that my 11-year-old brain couldn't even comprehend at the time.
And that is why I call it the AuDHD Summer Camp program. It's not because it takes place in summer, but it's a culture I want to provide. Because I want to give you a space, even a temporary one, where you're free to explore who it is you are without that feeling of having someone's eyes on your back just waiting for you to do something embarrassing, or weird, or too sensitive, or whatever else.
Where you can break free of the chains of perfectionism, people pleasing, and shame, that have kept you from getting to know who you really, actually are underneath that mask that you've been building up this whole time, while being supported by a group of others doing the exact same thing.

What Previous Campers Have Said:
"I think one of my favorite things was generally after coaching calls, I just felt a bit more brave and settled in myself."
"It was the first time in my life where I felt like you were speaking my language and I was speaking your language and it was just such a wonderful experience to be with people who really understood."
"It helped me so much more listening to people who are really going through the same stuff as I am going through."
"I have a hard time committing to stuff for myself, so the fact that you are a place where I can go and keep on learning to also literally choose myself because I take the time to be here and listen and learn, and I think that is the part I need most in my life."
"Radical self acceptance and intentional masking were helpful concepts. I haven't been able to have a sense of self or identity that isn't shame/guilt/external locus of control based [until this program]."
"The giving myself permission to be a potato and just do what feels good was really helpful."
Payment Options
I believe that pricing doesn’t have to be a weapon of classism; it can be a joyously interdependent exchange of resources that help create stronger communities. This pricing model is inspired by the Green Bottle Model from Worts + Cunning.
Please read the following criteria and determine which price is appropriate for you. If you fall in between two of the categories, please choose the one that represents a safe and comfortable financial commitment.
6-month payment plans are available for each option.
$2,100
- You have access to financial security, have personal savings, or own property/rent a high-end property
- You are are able to pay for “wants” easily and rarely worry about paying for basic necessities
- You have what most would consider economic privilege and power
By choosing this price, you are helping contribute to a more equitable community by supporting access for those with less.
$1,200
- You may be paying off debt or working to build savings, but have access to steady income
- You don't spend most of your time thinking of meeting basic needs such as food, rent, medical care, bills, child care, etc.
- You're able to buy new things and take vacations annually or every few years without much financial strain
By choosing this price, you are paying for your access to this program and leaving the lowest tier option for those who need it most.
$600
- You’re able to access basic needs such as food, housing, and child care, although sometimes it may feel difficult
- You are able to put away money each month to may the temporary payments, but the middle price would be enough to cause financial strain
By choosing this price, you are letting your community support you and investing in yourself without sacrificing your needs.
I can't wait to see you at camp!
